Is Secret gonna join Young Justice? If so, that will give me hope for the other heroines joining Young Justice soon.

I was impressed to see another original Young Justice member. Her name is Secret a.k.a. Greta Hayes. I'm unsure whether she is joining Young Justice, but since she was the original character in the Young Justice comic books, that'll mean other original members will appear in this show. I cross my fingers that this is the time for Wonder Girl to show up. And I also hope that not of the current members of Young Justice will die soon. I'm really looking forward for the rookies to stand up against an alien invasion.moreless

One is the fact that Superboyis a total jerk, but all the girls seem to be in love with him. I dont like how he threatend to beat up Aqualad for not telling the group he thought there was a spy amongst them, and it put his new girlfriend in danger. In fact the whole team treated Aqualad disrespectfully a few eps. back but when they all thought about it more they calmed down and realized he was not only in the right, but they probably would of done the same. Actually I kind of remember Robin doing the same in the Teen Titans show when he went undercover to infiltrate Slades ranks and didnt tell the whole group for thierprotection. When I think about it though Cy, BeastBoy,and the rest didnt treatRobin as disrespectfully as they did Aqualad in this show. I justwonder if they had chose to have the original caucasian Aqualad on this show, as they did in Titans would he be still be leader, or actually part of the gang which Caldor(Aquald) seems not to be. And newly appointed shrink Black Canary didnt help easeAqualads worries ofbeing a worthy leader during thier session. She just listend and said well who should be the leader, maybe the youngestweakestguy on the team.All she said was you are all young, not that Caldor was the oldest and most mature of the bunch. That dude needsa hug or some kind of approval from these so called GOOD GUYS!

Also why did Miss Martian (MEggan) choose to be caucasian, and not black like her uncle in human form, I assume the Martian Manhunter is black in this show b/c the last couple of incarnations I have seen of him have been a black detective or being voiced by a black man. But now she is the most powerfull mind the Manhunter has ever seen even more powerful than him even though he is older and more experianced.PAAAAHHHLEEESE, I dont buy it.

Though that was my favorite ep. so far when the whole league is destroyed in a dream very intense to watch. Too bad Meggan cant read her boyfriends jerk mind and see he was actually happy when the whole world went to crap and every hero died but him. I also didnt like how they finally show Jon Stewart (Black Green Lantern) only to be killed in the first minute of the ep. I would like to see an ep. just focused on all the earth Green Lanterns. And explain why Earth needs more than one at atime unlike other planets.LikeStewart, that funny guy I saw on the goofy Batman show with the red bowl haircut and jacket, Kyle Renner from theold Superman ep. from the 90's, not just Hal Jordan. I am sick of Hal Jordan, I know he was the first Earth Lantern and all, but after several animated incarnations, and even the new lame CGI lantern show, and the Lackluster live action film where Ryan Renolds Lantern was the most powerful Lantern the world has ever seen, again I say PAAAAHLEEESE I dont buy it.

The things I do like about the show are the intellagent story lines, and the big mystery about this sinster group called the light. The action and comedy are well balanced, and the animation and the crossovers of other heroes being teachers are also great. I just wish they didnt end the season with this dark Halloween ep. though it was good, not enough resolution I think for the bookend of the story arc being told. Hope next season they bring in a love interest for Caldor, since Robin has now Zatanna, and Sup's has MEggan, and Flash has THE MYSTERIOUSE hippocryte girl green arrow. I dont know her name sorry. Maybe a young Vixen or Batgirl, just keep bringing on the new faces to the team!moreless

I love this show! It's addictive and powerful. The only thing i have an issue with is the hiatus. Months of no airing and now there's been no news about it for a few weeks. Personally I think each of the characters is very realistic and distinct which is hard to come by in shows nowadays. 10 out of 10. Hope to see a new episode soon.

A bit lame compared to other episodes.

8.0

By WeimanSun, Dec 06, 2011

The whole thing with Harm was weird at first but I guess the main point is to introduce Zatanna more and get to understand Artemis a little more. Her relationship with her broken family and tough life really shows this time. While Red Arrow suspects her of being the mole others understand and especially Robin. I was spooked by the Greta my beloved sister I killed you thing, especially on"the last thing she ever saw was ' Secret' " and with that the episode ended...moreless
